New York, in less dramatic fashion, dominated Washington 5-0 to win the only road game of the series. Boston, down 4-1 to Toronto, rallied back with three goals in less than 11 minutes, two of which came in the final minutes with a pulled goalie, and won in overtime 5-4. Now the Rangers and Bruins, these two Original 6 teams in two huge markets, are set-up for a Round 2 clash that could be one for the ages. New York and Boston yet again in sports. Here is a series preview.

Time to take out your fake teeth, ready the playoff beard- or gross pencil-esque mustache if you prefer- and grow out that sweet, sweet mullet. The Rangers' run for Lord Stanley's Cup will open Thursday night against the Ottawa Senators. We offer you these preview thoughts. @JoeBianchino
